Three Anthony Braxton Box Sets to Be Released April 1


Composer will also play Tennessee festival

By JazzTimes

The Tri-Centric Foundation and Firehouse 12 Records will release three box sets by composer Anthony Braxton on April 1. According to a press release, they range “from a wild reinvention of post-Wagnerian opera—Trillium J (The Non-Unconfessionables)—to a heartfelt tribute to an improvisatory hero—Quintet (Tristano) 2014—to a multi-dimensional, fully immersive electro-acoustic sound environment—3 Compositions (EEMHM) 2011.” Each of the three projects, the release continues, “offers a different component of Braxton’s constantly evolving vision, and each challenges the listener (or friendly experiencer, in Braxton terminology) to experience music as an active participant rather than a passive spectator.”

 

In conjunction with the releases, Braxton will make a rare U.S. concert appearance at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, Tenn., performing with his 10+1tet on April 1 and his Trio on April 2.
